The trick is being able to move Brock and his last year while picking up a new QB.

I've said it before, Rivers is the one we should be looking to swap for. It's a long shot as it relies on Rivers wanting out before they move to LA, but we'd be able to swap Brock out for picks if Rivers demanded out. Rivers contract only counts $1 million more than Brock, while the cap is set to rise next year. Again, a very long shot but it offers us a win now move at the expense of draft picks.

This would be so awesome, but reports show Rivers is committed to playing in LA and management has smoothed things over. Sigh

I'm including the dead money...this isn't rocket science and you don't need Madden.

Go to overthecap.com and look at the contracts yourself.

Put it like this....there is NO WAY the Texans carry $42 million at the QB spot. NO way they trade a 2nd rounder (yes......There are teams they may be willing to give up a 1st or 2nd) for Romo. Move on.....

Yeah, I don't think they will either, bc its a bunch of idiots running the team.

As long as the team has **** at QB, they wont do anything, so all that 20 million that will go to other positions instead of QB, wont matter. Its Peyton Manning all over again with the silliness of "we don't have the money".

Yes, we do...it would be one year of having a crazy amount of money on the QB position, but the team is going nowhere regardless, if its just Brock and Savage going at it again. This team has enough talent to sustain one season of 40 million at the QB position.

What's the alternative? Another 9-7 season with no shot in the playoffs.

Right...and we were at 148 million as a team this season...so that's 15-17 million extra...as Ive already stated.

LOL. I guess the Texans won't try to add any Free Agents? They need a veteran WR, at RT, an inside LB (Cushing is gone), a DB, a Guard possibly. If you get Romo, you give up a draft pick u need for a Tackle or QB for may be a 1 year rental (who hasn't played a full season in 4 years). Not going to happen.

Difference situation. They didn't have $17 million tied up in a QB, plus the Broncos' didnt have to give up picks. Cowboys will try to extract a 1st from a Desperate team. NO GM in his right mind would do that. If an owner approved that, he needs to sell his team.

Romo doesn't have to play behind this line. He has to play behind next years line which will have a talent infusion and more experience in the system. Also securing Romo doesn't stop you from drafting an heir apparent. In fact, it's ideal. Romo has been a great mentor to Dak.

spending 10 million on a guy that will be on the IR for most of the season Romo needs to retire for his health he has made enough money in his situation he needs to think about his future quality of life

The Texans need a QB more than any of those things. Brock is a sunk cost it doesn't matter what he is paid - his salary should be irrelevant to any good decision-making philosophy. You're going to have a bigger improvement by spending money/picks on a QB than any of the things you listed while starting Brock.

Exactly...as long as Brock is at QB, it doesn't matter what studs we have on the team. The ONLY thing that will make the Texans better, is a solid improvement at the QB spot. Nothing else matters right now.
